4 New Restaurants in Wilmington To Go This Holiday

Love me a divine, fine dining!

I moved here, to Wilmington, Delaware, about 9 years ago - it was completely, compleeeetelyyyyy different back then. This small town is getting better and more fun each day, and now there are many places to visit and adventure to. It has been so thrilling to see this town grow and evolve!

If you know me and you are here, YOU KNOW I am a serious food enthusiast. Today I am sharing with you those new(er) and absolutely divine restaurants that have opened here in Wilmington! Make sure you are snacking while you are reading this post, otherwise you will be too hungry by the time you reach the end.

My ultimate plan recommendation (especially on December 16th & 17th) is to dine in one of these places after coming to see my ballet company, First State Ballet Theater’s most beloved & immaculate Nutcracker. Your day will be enriched. I promise you.

1: BARDEA STEAK

If you are a sucker for a GOOD steak, it’s a must to visit this steakhouse. Words cannot describe how phenomenal each dish they serve is. My husband Eddie is a huge, HUGE fan of steak, which means he is also very picky with steak he eats. He LOVED everything we tried here, and that says a lot.

2: THE QUOIN

It suddenly made an appearance on Market street only 2 months ago and everyone in town is talking about it. I finally got to go, and oh my gosh, my mouth was melting over everything we ordered. The interior here (and the hotel upstairs) is immaculate, the whole atmosphere here is just above and beyond.

I personally recommend you to try their side menu Potato Quoin, I’d go back there just for this!

3: WILMA’S

This new hip restaurant slash bowling alley is a perfect place for you to go out with your friends. Their Cajun dishes have so much flavor, every bite you take is full of deliciousness! We especially loved their Nola sausage, it was oh so juicy!

4: LE CAVALIER

This restaurant is located on the first floor of Hotel Du Pont. The architecture that welcomes us takes us to the different world. Dishes they create are also otherworldly. To this day I still can’t forget the taste of their lobster. Eddie and I stayed in this hotel and dined in here this past summer, it was one of the most unforgettable experiences for us!
